Banco Central de Macau, obverse black and white archival photograph for an unissued 500 patacas, 10.11.77, ruins of Saint Paul's at centre, junk ship at left (logo?), denominations at top four corners,
(Pick unlisted), PMG 64. A fascinating piece with a previously unseen Macau bank. Though an unissued design, collectors might notice with the possible junk logo at left and the Chinese/Arabic numbers at four corner has very similar design elements to the reverse of the 1981-84 and 1988-2003 issues. Interestingly to note, though iconic the Ruins of Saint Pauls were only featured on Macanese banknotes only 4 times. Ex-Bradbury archive. Historically important and possibly unique.


1977年澳門中央銀行伍佰圓黑白檔案照片，未發行版式，PMG 64。儘管是未發行的設計，之前亦沒有該銀行的相關記錄，藏家可能會注意到左側的中式帆船標誌和四個角落的中阿數字與1981-84年及1988-2003年系列的反面設計非常相似。更有趣的是，大三巴牌坊僅在澳門鈔票上出現過四次。源自布拉德伯里威爾金森公司舊檔，其歷史意義無可比擬，更可能是孤品，相當引人入勝的一枚
